I am using zincalume angles to build the outside frame. We received them inside packaging to make the structure strong and protect the parts inside from possible crush damage.
I'll be getting the medium duty 1.0m sliders, and you will notice a third brace, which will be the place for lidded bins. Sometimes you need a place for stuff you do not want all the time, and having it packed way deep is not much of a problem because you might only need it when in the camp. I've managed to complete the top and bottom part of the frame in approx 3 hours with help from my wife Nadine and my son Elgar. As you can see Elgar was busy with quality control.

Fitting finally to see it in relation with the bak itself:

I'll be cladding the whole frame in 6mm laminated ply. Pictures will follow:
